Southern Innovation Appoints New Chairman

Southern Innovation is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Adam Lewis as our new Chairman.

Mr Lewis spent 20 years working as a management consultant with McKinsey & Company, where he was the Managing Partner, Australia & New Zealand, from 2002 to 2008. Mr Lewis brings with him global consulting experience at the most senior levels of corporations across a range of industries and markets.

“We are delighted to welcome Adam Lewis on as Chairman. We anticipate that Adam’s experience in strategic consulting and his global network will contribute greatly to Southern Innovation as we commercialise our award winning SITORO® technology” said Mr David Scoullar, CEO & Managing Director of Southern Innovation.

“As a passive investor since early 2008, I have observed the exciting development of this world-leading technology and look forward to contributing to its ongoing commercialisation” said Mr Lewis.

Mr Lewis replaces Mr Martin Hosking as Chairman of Southern Innovation. Mr Hosking has stepped down to devote more time to RedBubble, an exciting company which he founded and where he is now the full time CEO. Mr Hosking’s counsel and support have been vital to the progress of Southern Innovation to date, and we thank him for his valuable contribution.
